297: Pete Owen – Exhortation: The Dew of the Morning

1
00:00:13,840 –> 00:00:15,600
Welcome to good Chris selfie and
talks.

2
00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:17,320
I’m Levi.
And I’m Chris.

3
00:00:17,560 –> 00:00:19,760
And I’m Brian, thank you for
joining us this week.

4
00:00:20,320 –> 00:00:24,120
On this podcast, we select one
talk a week to help us get the

5
00:00:24,120 –> 00:00:27,720
Bible in our Daily News feed.
We post a new episode at the

6
00:00:27,720 –> 00:00:30,600
start of each week, with the
short intro beforehand to kind

7
00:00:30,600 –> 00:00:32,759
of set the stage for the talk
you’re about to listen to.

8
00:00:33,400 –> 00:00:36,240
And now let’s talk more about
this week’s talk.

9
00:00:50,920 –> 00:00:53,200
Hello and welcome back.
This is brother Chris.

10
00:00:54,200 –> 00:00:57,200
This week we are listening to an
exhortation which is actually

11
00:00:57,200 –> 00:00:59,080
the. 4th.
Class in A5.

12
00:00:59,080 –> 00:01:02,480
Class series that was.
Given by Brother Pete Owen at

13
00:01:02,480 –> 00:01:07,640
the Pershore UK Ecclesia on a
study that overall looked at

14
00:01:07,640 –> 00:01:11,200
what Judges teaches us about the
work of Jesus and his coming.

15
00:01:11,640 –> 00:01:15,400
This particular class, which as
I said before is an exhortation,

16
00:01:15,400 –> 00:01:19,320
is the 4th class in the series,
is entitled The Dew of the

17
00:01:19,320 –> 00:01:21,760
Morning and is looking at the
story of Gideon.

18
00:01:22,360 –> 00:01:25,080
This is one of those types of
expectations that I always

19
00:01:25,080 –> 00:01:29,200
really enjoy because it is
something where the brother is

20
00:01:29,200 –> 00:01:32,160
taking a look at a Bible story
that we all know very well with

21
00:01:32,160 –> 00:01:35,040
Gideon and the putting out of
the fleece in the sword of the

22
00:01:35,040 –> 00:01:37,240
Lord and the Gideon in the
battle against the Midianites.

23
00:01:37,720 –> 00:01:41,840
But then takes it one level
deeper to find the symbolism

24
00:01:41,840 –> 00:01:45,760
that is embedded in the
scriptures and in the story that

25
00:01:45,760 –> 00:01:49,440
points forward to Christ in a
way that is really, really cool.

26
00:01:49,600 –> 00:01:54,160
I won’t go into any more detail
about what and how he points it

27
00:01:54,160 –> 00:01:56,720
out in the interesting things
that he pulls forward from the

28
00:01:56,720 –> 00:01:58,560
story that I had never heard
before and I thought was really,

29
00:01:58,560 –> 00:02:01,440
really fascinating to listen to
so that you can enjoy it when

30
00:02:01,440 –> 00:02:04,160
you hear it, because Brother
Pete does a spectacular job at

31
00:02:04,160 –> 00:02:07,680
doing this.
This exhortation and the series

32
00:02:07,680 –> 00:02:12,320
was sent in as a recommendation
and was originally hosted on the

33
00:02:12,320 –> 00:02:16,120
Christadelphian Isolation
League, which is found on

34
00:02:16,120 –> 00:02:20,400
isolationleague.org.
So it is a fantastic resource if

35
00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:22,280
you have never heard of it
before.

36
00:02:22,280 –> 00:02:26,240
You can work with either your
recording brother at your local

37
00:02:26,240 –> 00:02:29,240
Ecclesia or even just go to the
website and there’s information

38
00:02:29,240 –> 00:02:34,120
there via the Contact us link of
the Isolation League website to

39
00:02:34,120 –> 00:02:35,600
be able to find out how to
register.

40
00:02:35,800 –> 00:02:37,880
There’s a registration code that
you need to get to be able to

41
00:02:37,880 –> 00:02:41,000
sign up, but it is a fantastic
website with all sorts of

42
00:02:41,240 –> 00:02:43,880
recordings.
This recording in particular,

43
00:02:43,880 –> 00:02:46,360
I’ll make sure to include the
link in the description.

44
00:02:46,440 –> 00:02:48,600
Obviously you’ll need to be
registered to access the link,

45
00:02:48,600 –> 00:02:52,160
but if you are curious to want
to see any slides or there’s

46
00:02:52,160 –> 00:02:54,480
also a video recording of these
talks If you want to be able to

47
00:02:54,480 –> 00:02:56,800
see brother Pete while he’s
giving the classes you.

48
00:02:56,840 –> 00:02:58,280
Will have access to.
Those as well.

49
00:02:58,760 –> 00:03:02,600
We will also put the entire five
classes on the good Crystal

50
00:03:02,600 –> 00:03:04,440
Living Talks extended feed as
well.

51
00:03:04,440 –> 00:03:07,480
But I also wanted to mention
where we got these from as it

52
00:03:07,480 –> 00:03:10,000
was sent in as a suggestion.
And I wanted to mention,

53
00:03:10,720 –> 00:03:13,240
especially if there’s anyone
listening who is in more

54
00:03:13,240 –> 00:03:16,920
isolation or is not able to
regularly attend, meeting the

55
00:03:16,920 –> 00:03:20,400
Isolation League is a fantastic
way to still be able to have

56
00:03:20,760 –> 00:03:25,040
that sort of spiritual community
that I know everyone who’s able

57
00:03:25,040 –> 00:03:27,320
to attend on a regular basis
loves and appreciates.

58
00:03:27,320 –> 00:03:32,200
So I hope that you find this
exhortation to be encouraging as

59
00:03:32,200 –> 00:03:36,680
we listen to Brother Pete Owen
look at the story of Gideon with

60
00:03:36,680 –> 00:03:39,120
his exhortation entitled The Dew
of the Morning.

61
00:03:39,400 –> 00:03:42,800
Well, we try, don’t we,
generally, to give an exertation

62
00:03:42,800 –> 00:03:45,840
from the readings.
And I was thinking, well, you

63
00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:47,720
know, we’ve got this series that
we’re trying to work through

64
00:03:47,720 –> 00:03:51,280
this weekend on the Judges.
So I did feel exceptionally well

65
00:03:51,280 –> 00:03:55,440
blessed when the readings were
Psalm 110 and 2nd Corinthians 4,

66
00:03:55,600 –> 00:03:59,040
which I think we’re going to be
able to tie in to the character

67
00:03:59,040 –> 00:04:02,400
of Gideon and to that story.
But I would like you to turn

68
00:04:02,400 –> 00:04:05,600
first, please, to Judges Chapter
6.

69
00:04:06,760 –> 00:04:09,800
And I wonder if if you’ve ever
noticed, I haven’t until

70
00:04:09,800 –> 00:04:14,840
recently, that before Gideon,
there’s a prophet.

71
00:04:15,760 –> 00:04:18,040
And, and if I asked you the name
of the prophet, none of you

72
00:04:18,040 –> 00:04:19,560
would know because none of us do
know.

73
00:04:20,040 –> 00:04:24,040
So, so just jump to verse seven
of Judges chapter 6 where we

74
00:04:24,040 –> 00:04:26,760
read that it came to pass when
the children of Israel cried to

75
00:04:26,760 –> 00:04:30,240
the Lord because the Midianites,
the Lord sent a prophet.

76
00:04:31,040 –> 00:04:34,280
And the end of the record of
that prophet is verse 10.

77
00:04:35,600 –> 00:04:41,720
And so prophet is sent before
Gideon, who we come across in

78
00:04:41,720 –> 00:04:44,600
verse 11.
And immediately and in our

79
00:04:44,600 –> 00:04:48,920
studies this weekend we’ve been
trying to unpick what it is that

80
00:04:48,920 –> 00:04:53,480
the judges teach us about the
work of the Lord Jesus both at

81
00:04:53,480 –> 00:05:00,480
his first coming and his return
and a prophet going before.

82
00:05:01,160 –> 00:05:04,040
Well, we think don’t we
immediately of and I could ask

83
00:05:04,040 –> 00:05:06,000
you and it’s perhaps
inappropriate in an exhortation

84
00:05:06,000 –> 00:05:09,720
so I won’t but all of your minds
are at John the Baptist aren’t

85
00:05:09,720 –> 00:05:12,480
there.
And if I said to you, what about

86
00:05:12,480 –> 00:05:15,400
the time of the end.
Well who is the prophet that’s

87
00:05:15,400 –> 00:05:18,360
going to go before the Lord
Jesus at the time of the end and

88
00:05:18,360 –> 00:05:22,080
I can see all of your minds are
at Elijah.

89
00:05:23,000 –> 00:05:26,640
I’d like you to keep a marker.
But when you come to John

90
00:05:26,640 –> 00:05:32,520
chapter one where we read of
John the Baptist coming onto the

91
00:05:32,520 –> 00:05:41,080
scene and the elders, the Jewish
elders are challenged by John

92
00:05:41,080 –> 00:05:44,960
the Baptist and they ask him,
who are you?

93
00:05:45,520 –> 00:05:48,200
John One verse 22.
They said to him, Who are you?

94
00:05:48,840 –> 00:05:51,120
That we may give us answer to
them that sent us.

95
00:05:51,120 –> 00:05:55,160
What says thou of thyself?
And he answers to them.

96
00:05:55,800 –> 00:06:01,680
I am the voice.
At no point does he say I am

97
00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:04,520
John the Baptist.
Well, have you still got your

98
00:06:04,520 –> 00:06:07,640
marker in Judges?
What do you read at the end of

99
00:06:07,640 –> 00:06:11,160
Judges 6 and verse 10 regarding
that unnamed prophet?

100
00:06:12,360 –> 00:06:17,680
He is, well, he’s just a voice.
They’ve got obeyed God’s voice.

101
00:06:18,480 –> 00:06:23,520
He says I John the Baptist back
in John one says I am the voice

102
00:06:24,280 –> 00:06:28,800
of one crying in the wilderness
makes us straight the way of the

103
00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:31,360
Lord, as said the prophet
Isaiah.

104
00:06:31,640 –> 00:06:35,920
And so he quotes, doesn’t he
from Isaiah chapter 40.

105
00:06:37,040 –> 00:06:42,600
And you remember that in Isaiah
40, the prophet who is the voice

106
00:06:42,600 –> 00:06:46,800
of one crying in the wilderness,
preparing the way of the Lord,

107
00:06:47,640 –> 00:06:54,960
that prophet, the great shout of
that prophet, is all flesh, is

108
00:06:55,520 –> 00:07:00,000
grass as the flower of the
field.

109
00:07:01,080 –> 00:07:05,520
The only thing the prophet goes
on to explain that will last

110
00:07:05,520 –> 00:07:10,800
forever is the word.
We’ve seen in our studies this

111
00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:13,200
weekend, the significance of the
word.

112
00:07:13,760 –> 00:07:18,320
All flesh is grass, the prophet
says in Isaiah 14.

113
00:07:18,840 –> 00:07:21,320
But the word of the Lord endures
forever.

114
00:07:22,360 –> 00:07:27,240
Now the reason John the Baptist
is sent is to prepare the way of

115
00:07:27,240 –> 00:07:30,440
the Lord.
And so when in John chapter one,

116
00:07:30,440 –> 00:07:36,440
now we see the Lord Jesus Christ
come on to the sea, John is

117
00:07:36,440 –> 00:07:40,280
going to exit.
And so we see, don’t we, in

118
00:07:40,280 –> 00:07:45,760
verse 29, that where John is
baptising, he sees Jesus coming

119
00:07:45,760 –> 00:07:54,000
to him and says, behold the Lamb
of God, behold the Lamb of God.

120
00:07:54,000 –> 00:08:01,440
And so John’s key message to the
world is to tell everyone all

121
00:08:01,440 –> 00:08:06,080
flesh is grass.
The only thing that will last is

122
00:08:06,080 –> 00:08:11,800
the Word of God.
Verse 14 of John one that is the

123
00:08:11,800 –> 00:08:15,880
Lord Jesus Christ, the one who’s
been made flesh to dwell among

124
00:08:15,880 –> 00:08:21,120
us, who will behold his glory.
And he introduces him now to the

125
00:08:21,120 –> 00:08:29,800
world, Behold the Lamb of God.
Now, why is that so significant

126
00:08:30,080 –> 00:08:34,960
in relation to the story of
Gideon and the story of Gideon

127
00:08:34,960 –> 00:08:36,760
that you could do a whole Bible
school on?

128
00:08:36,760 –> 00:08:38,280
So we’re going to have to do
some jumping.

129
00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:41,120
And I apologise for that, but
you’ll be thrilled to know that

130
00:08:41,120 –> 00:08:43,360
I’m going to try and behave this
morning in terms of time.

131
00:08:44,360 –> 00:08:46,560
I want you to come back to
Judges chapter 6.

132
00:08:48,120 –> 00:08:52,160
And I want you to just cast your
eye and I’ll give you a clue.

133
00:08:52,160 –> 00:08:55,960
Perhaps go towards the end of
the chapter, see if you can find

134
00:08:56,440 –> 00:09:06,600
a lamb.
Can you find a lamb?

135
00:09:07,840 –> 00:09:11,960
It’s not all that easy, is it?
But I suspect that most of you,

136
00:09:13,040 –> 00:09:18,320
a penny is dropping because
actually, we find a fleece,

137
00:09:18,320 –> 00:09:21,000
don’t we?
How do you get a fleece?

138
00:09:21,040 –> 00:09:22,520
Is that what you’ve got?
Is that what you’ve got?

139
00:09:23,320 –> 00:09:31,080
How do we get that fleece?
Well, Alam has perhaps had to be

140
00:09:31,080 –> 00:09:38,680
sacrificed to have a fleece.
And as soon as you get this, I

141
00:09:38,680 –> 00:09:43,920
find what I’m about to tell you
now spine tingling, because up

142
00:09:43,920 –> 00:09:48,240
until really recently I thought
the story of the fleece, well,

143
00:09:48,240 –> 00:09:52,440
it was simply an extraordinary
miracle that gave Gideon

144
00:09:52,440 –> 00:09:55,840
assurance of the fact that God
was with him.

145
00:09:57,160 –> 00:10:02,320
Well, it is that, but it’s
altogether marvellous because

146
00:10:02,320 –> 00:10:06,240
look carefully.
If we apply the principle here

147
00:10:06,240 –> 00:10:10,800
that the lamb, the fleece is a
lamb and that the lamb is

148
00:10:10,800 –> 00:10:13,800
pointing forward to the Lord
Jesus Christ.

149
00:10:14,960 –> 00:10:18,000
Let S read verse 36.
Gideon said to God, if if you

150
00:10:18,000 –> 00:10:21,400
will save Israel by my hand as
you said, behold, I LL put a

151
00:10:21,400 –> 00:10:27,040
fleece of wool on the floor and
if the dew be on the fleece only

152
00:10:27,160 –> 00:10:30,320
and if it be dry upon all the
earth beside, then shall I know

153
00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:32,920
that you will save Israel by my
hand, as you VE said.

154
00:10:33,520 –> 00:10:38,040
Now, first of all, let S just
pick out a couple of words here.

155
00:10:38,400 –> 00:10:40,960
The fleece.
Well, I’m sure that you VE

156
00:10:40,960 –> 00:10:44,160
already made a note and brother
Steve’s already pointed out the

157
00:10:44,160 –> 00:10:46,560
fact that I can’t help myself.
Can I say get your pencil out?

158
00:10:46,560 –> 00:10:48,040
But all they’re saying I’m going
to tell you again.

159
00:10:48,480 –> 00:10:51,800
Look next to the word fleece,
put John 129.

160
00:10:51,880 –> 00:10:59,200
It’s the lamb.
OK, the fleece is of wool.

161
00:11:00,680 –> 00:11:04,240
Well, the two references I’m
going to give you, I’m going to

162
00:11:04,240 –> 00:11:06,800
suggest that you make a note of
for the wool.

163
00:11:07,160 –> 00:11:08,480
I’ll tell you them and then
we’ll look at them.

164
00:11:08,880 –> 00:11:17,080
Isaiah one verse 18 and
Revelation one and verse 14.

165
00:11:18,080 –> 00:11:20,200
So I’m going to turn there.
You might want to make a note.

166
00:11:20,320 –> 00:11:24,880
Isaiah 1 and verse 18.
What do we read about the wool?

167
00:11:25,240 –> 00:11:29,280
Come now, Isaiah 118.
Let’s reason together, saith the

168
00:11:29,280 –> 00:11:32,600
Lord.
Though your sins be a scarlet,

169
00:11:33,360 –> 00:11:37,600
they shall be white as snow.
Though they be red like Crimson,

170
00:11:37,960 –> 00:11:45,040
they shall be as wool.
So the wool is going to somehow

171
00:11:45,040 –> 00:11:50,400
point forward to the idea of sin
being forgiven.

172
00:11:51,960 –> 00:11:57,600
Isaiah 118 give you the other
one, Revelation chapter one.

173
00:11:58,480 –> 00:12:02,240
Now we turned here yesterday
young people, because in

174
00:12:02,240 –> 00:12:07,560
Revelation chapter one, we saw,
didn’t we, the the multitudinous

175
00:12:07,560 –> 00:12:11,120
Christ or the one man or the
rainbowed Angel.

176
00:12:11,360 –> 00:12:15,000
And we saw, didn’t we, in verse
16, the sharp 2 edged sword

177
00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:18,800
coming out of his mouth.
But this picture of this

178
00:12:18,800 –> 00:12:25,720
immortal man of us as Saints,
well, look verse 14.

179
00:12:26,960 –> 00:12:34,320
His head and his hair were white
like wool as white as snow.

180
00:12:34,800 –> 00:12:39,280
Well, we know immediately from
Isaiah 118 that Speaking of the

181
00:12:39,280 –> 00:12:44,960
fact, sin has been dealt with.
That’s why this is an immortal

182
00:12:44,960 –> 00:12:48,480
man.
OK, come back to Judges 6.

183
00:12:49,480 –> 00:12:54,920
Keep moving with our clues.
And our reading today or one of

184
00:12:54,920 –> 00:13:00,320
our readings is Psalm 110.
And we looked at some length

185
00:13:00,320 –> 00:13:04,760
yesterday at Psalm 110.
But I want you to turn there for

186
00:13:04,760 –> 00:13:07,120
this, if nothing else, for our
brothers and sisters who are

187
00:13:07,120 –> 00:13:12,040
joining us this morning, because
in Psalm 110 we read this, this

188
00:13:12,080 –> 00:13:19,000
Kingdom Psalm.
And we read, Thy people will be

189
00:13:19,000 –> 00:13:22,240
willing in the day of Thy power,
in the beauties of holiness.

190
00:13:22,520 –> 00:13:30,480
From the womb of the morning
Thou hast the due of Thy youth.

191
00:13:31,320 –> 00:13:34,480
From the womb of the morning,
the womb.

192
00:13:35,720 –> 00:13:41,440
This is about birth, isn’t it?
The womb of the morning thou

193
00:13:41,440 –> 00:13:45,080
hast the Jew of thy youth.
What is this metaphor?

194
00:13:45,080 –> 00:13:49,840
Getting at the womb of the
morning, the Jew of thy thy

195
00:13:49,840 –> 00:13:53,920
youth.
Well, when is our youth going to

196
00:13:53,920 –> 00:13:59,400
be renewed?
At the resurrection?

197
00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:12,400
Come on, come to Isaiah 26 and
verse 19, Isaiah 26 and verse

198
00:14:12,400 –> 00:14:16,400
19.
Thy dead men shall live.

199
00:14:16,520 –> 00:14:19,000
Now, if that’s not a clue,
nothing is.

200
00:14:19,280 –> 00:14:21,880
What are we talking about in
Isaiah 2619?

201
00:14:22,240 –> 00:14:24,320
The resurrection?
All right, I’m sure you’ve made

202
00:14:24,320 –> 00:14:26,520
a note already.
If you haven’t, put a note next

203
00:14:26,520 –> 00:14:32,200
to verse 19, The resurrection.
Thy dead men shall live together

204
00:14:32,200 –> 00:14:34,880
with my dead body shall they
arise.

205
00:14:35,000 –> 00:14:36,800
This is resurrection language,
isn’t it?

206
00:14:37,680 –> 00:14:41,440
Awake and see ye that dwell in
dust.

207
00:14:41,840 –> 00:14:50,360
For thy Jew is thus the Jew of
herbs, and the earth shall cast

208
00:14:50,520 –> 00:14:59,640
out the dead.
So the Jew is a symbol of the

209
00:14:59,640 –> 00:15:04,880
resurrection.
Psalm 110, verse three, Isaiah

210
00:15:04,880 –> 00:15:10,320
26, verse 19.
The Jew in Scripture is the

211
00:15:10,320 –> 00:15:16,320
symbol of the resurrection.
Now I want you to keep a marker

212
00:15:16,360 –> 00:15:22,400
in Isaiah 2619, or at least
remember this phrase as the Jew

213
00:15:22,400 –> 00:15:27,480
of herbs, the earth.
That word earth is elsewhere

214
00:15:27,480 –> 00:15:29,080
translated.
We’ll get to it in a minute.

215
00:15:29,080 –> 00:15:32,880
In Judges 6 ground, it’s the
same Hebrew word we’re going to

216
00:15:32,880 –> 00:15:37,520
see in Judges 6 ground.
So you could read the ground

217
00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:42,480
shall cast out the dead.
Come back to Judges chapter 6,

218
00:15:42,520 –> 00:15:49,600
please.
So with these types echoing in

219
00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,560
our mind, let’s look again at
verse 37.

220
00:15:54,600 –> 00:15:57,960
I will put a fleece of wool on
the floor.

221
00:15:58,280 –> 00:16:02,760
Who is the fleece of wool
pointing to who is the Lamb of

222
00:16:02,760 –> 00:16:09,800
God, the Lord Jesus Christ?
And if the Jew be on the fleece,

223
00:16:09,800 –> 00:16:14,320
only the Jew is speaking about
the resurrection.

224
00:16:16,480 –> 00:16:23,160
And if it be dry on the earth or
on the ground, then shall I know

225
00:16:23,160 –> 00:16:25,800
that you’ll save Israel by my
hand as you’ve spoken.

226
00:16:27,240 –> 00:16:35,360
So it’s speaking first of the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus

227
00:16:35,360 –> 00:16:42,040
Christ.
But then Gideon says, I hope you

228
00:16:42,040 –> 00:16:46,000
don’t.
Could I have another sign this

229
00:16:46,000 –> 00:16:49,720
time?
Could the Jew just be on the

230
00:16:49,720 –> 00:17:00,920
ground, but not on the fleece?
Isaiah 26 Thy dead men shall

231
00:17:00,920 –> 00:17:05,680
live together, thy Jews as the
Jew of herbs and the earth.

232
00:17:05,680 –> 00:17:10,079
The ground will cast out the
dead.

233
00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:17,960
So now look Judges 6 verse 39.
It was so he rose up early in

234
00:17:17,960 –> 00:17:21,359
the morning on verse 39.
Rather Gideon said to God, let

235
00:17:21,359 –> 00:17:24,520
not thine anger be hot against
me, and I will speak with this

236
00:17:24,520 –> 00:17:26,119
once.
Let me prove, I beseech thee,

237
00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:30,120
but this once with the fleece,
let it now be dry on the fleece,

238
00:17:31,480 –> 00:17:33,360
but on all the ground let there
be dew.

239
00:17:35,200 –> 00:17:37,800
Now here is the clincher
reference.

240
00:17:39,520 –> 00:17:41,840
I said to the children this week
when we were doing the readings,

241
00:17:42,120 –> 00:17:44,640
and I won T get them to call it
out, but they should be able to

242
00:17:44,640 –> 00:17:46,120
tell you.
You can ask them afterwards,

243
00:17:46,640 –> 00:17:49,680
what is First Corinthians 15
about?

244
00:17:50,360 –> 00:17:52,680
And all of us should know should
be that when we say First

245
00:17:52,680 –> 00:17:55,760
Corinthians 15, we know the
resurrection.

246
00:17:56,160 –> 00:17:58,520
So of course, when we’re looking
at the resurrection, we go to

247
00:17:58,520 –> 00:18:03,160
1st Corinthians 15 and we’re
told the order of events of the

248
00:18:03,160 –> 00:18:08,120
resurrection in First
Corinthians 15, verse 20.

249
00:18:10,520 –> 00:18:12,600
Do you know for time?
I’m going to say verse 23

250
00:18:12,600 –> 00:18:16,880
straight away.
Each man in his own order,

251
00:18:17,080 –> 00:18:21,680
Christ the first fruits, where
was the Jew first?

252
00:18:22,040 –> 00:18:32,840
The Jew was only on the fleece
afterward they that are Christ’s

253
00:18:33,120 –> 00:18:37,880
at his coming.
The Jew in the second miracle

254
00:18:38,240 –> 00:18:48,200
was only on the ground.
Well, what an amazing sign being

255
00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:51,240
given to Gideon.
I don’t know if he understood

256
00:18:51,240 –> 00:18:53,720
him.
I’m sure he’s a more spiritual

257
00:18:53,720 –> 00:18:57,960
man than most of us, and he
probably got it and could see

258
00:18:57,960 –> 00:19:02,560
that before he was going into
battle he had nothing to worry

259
00:19:02,560 –> 00:19:05,840
about.
Now come that to Judges 6,

260
00:19:07,040 –> 00:19:11,120
because when the final hair on
the back of my neck stood up,

261
00:19:12,200 –> 00:19:15,840
looking at that, I found myself
thinking, well, I’ve got to look

262
00:19:15,840 –> 00:19:22,640
at this more and, and look
carefully now at verse 38.

263
00:19:22,960 –> 00:19:26,320
Because he rose up early on the
Morrow.

264
00:19:26,560 –> 00:19:28,440
Well, that’s resurrection
language, isn’t it?

265
00:19:28,760 –> 00:19:33,440
Rising up early on the Morrow.
And he thrust the fleece

266
00:19:33,440 –> 00:19:38,920
together and ringed the Jew out
of the fleece.

267
00:19:39,080 –> 00:19:42,000
He rung the Jew out of the
fleece.

268
00:19:42,240 –> 00:19:45,640
Now in our first readings, at
the moment we’re in Leviticus,

269
00:19:45,640 –> 00:19:49,360
aren’t we?
And in the sin offering, a note

270
00:19:49,360 –> 00:19:53,280
to make next.
The word ring here is Leviticus

271
00:19:53,280 –> 00:19:55,200
5, verse nine.
I’m not going to turn there

272
00:19:55,200 –> 00:20:00,960
because of time, but with the
sin offering, they rung the

273
00:20:00,960 –> 00:20:05,120
blood out of the sin offering.
They rung it out.

274
00:20:05,240 –> 00:20:07,040
So imagine Gideon with this
fleece.

275
00:20:07,200 –> 00:20:12,800
He’s picked the fleece up and
he’s wringing every last drop of

276
00:20:12,800 –> 00:20:17,320
water to fill up this bowl full
of water.

277
00:20:18,080 –> 00:20:24,440
But this fleece is speaking to
us about the Lord Jesus Christ.

278
00:20:26,320 –> 00:20:30,120
And what was it that he did?
Will He come to Philippians

279
00:20:30,120 –> 00:20:34,200
chapter 2?
Keep your marker.

280
00:20:34,440 –> 00:20:44,760
Come to Philippians chapter 2.
The Lord Jesus, we read in verse

281
00:20:44,760 –> 00:20:52,080
seven, made himself of no
reputation and took upon him the

282
00:20:52,080 –> 00:20:56,840
form of a servant being in the
likeness of men.

283
00:20:56,840 –> 00:20:59,360
Now we reflected on aspects of
the atonement, didn T we

284
00:20:59,360 –> 00:21:04,440
yesterday, particularly in the
livelihood, But this captures

285
00:21:04,640 –> 00:21:07,640
what we looked at yesterday in
terms of that aspect of the

286
00:21:07,640 –> 00:21:10,680
atonement being made in the
likeness of men.

287
00:21:11,400 –> 00:21:14,200
But I wanted to concentrate at
the beginning of that verse

288
00:21:14,880 –> 00:21:22,960
where the Revised Version says
He emptied himself, taking on

289
00:21:22,960 –> 00:21:26,560
the form of a servant.
He emptied himself.

290
00:21:26,920 –> 00:21:28,600
What did they do with that
fleece?

291
00:21:28,600 –> 00:21:33,080
What did He do?
He wrung it out until the fleece

292
00:21:33,080 –> 00:21:37,440
was empty of water.
What did they do with the sin

293
00:21:37,440 –> 00:21:41,240
offering?
They wrung it out until it was

294
00:21:41,480 –> 00:21:47,040
empty of blood.
And now I ask you the question,

295
00:21:49,040 –> 00:21:58,800
when the Lamb of God gave
himself as the sacrifice to deal

296
00:21:58,800 –> 00:22:05,760
with the problem of our sin,
when he hung on the cross,

297
00:22:06,880 –> 00:22:12,680
that’s where we see him empty,
empty himself.

298
00:22:14,040 –> 00:22:17,120
Before we go back to the
recording, Judges, will you come

299
00:22:17,120 –> 00:22:20,120
to the Gospel of John to chapter
19?

300
00:22:22,000 –> 00:22:25,720
We’ll come back to Philippians
two in a bit if we have time, so

301
00:22:26,000 –> 00:22:34,320
keep the mark.
In John 19, the Lord Jesus has

302
00:22:34,840 –> 00:22:40,360
emptied himself.
He’s sacrificed himself.

303
00:22:42,920 –> 00:22:44,640
There’s just the fleece, as it
were.

304
00:22:45,800 –> 00:22:51,720
He’s died.
He’s fallen asleep just like

305
00:22:51,720 –> 00:22:56,360
that fleece.
The Lamb of God has emptied

306
00:22:56,360 –> 00:23:04,120
himself, and as he’s emptied
himself, the soldiers came and

307
00:23:05,720 –> 00:23:08,080
they broke the legs, didn’t
they, Of those who were

308
00:23:08,080 –> 00:23:10,280
crucified alongside the Lord
Jesus.

309
00:23:11,080 –> 00:23:17,160
But when they got to the Lord
Jesus, so clear, he was already

310
00:23:17,160 –> 00:23:21,720
dead.
It’s a break of bone of his.

311
00:23:21,720 –> 00:23:24,600
This was the Lamb of God.
This was the Passover lamb.

312
00:23:25,120 –> 00:23:31,880
A bone would never be broken.
So what they did?

313
00:23:33,160 –> 00:23:38,280
Verse 34, one of the soldiers
with a sea spear pierced his

314
00:23:38,280 –> 00:23:45,520
sigh and forthwith came out
blood and water.

315
00:23:46,960 –> 00:23:49,000
The sin offerings being wrung
out.

316
00:23:50,080 –> 00:23:57,720
The fleece has been wrung out.
Why you and I might sit here

317
00:23:57,720 –> 00:24:05,440
this morning knowing whatever
we’ve done this week, whatever

318
00:24:05,440 –> 00:24:10,920
we’ve done in our life, our sin
can be dealt with and forgiven.

319
00:24:13,440 –> 00:24:17,080
What an extraordinary sign that
fleece was.

320
00:24:18,080 –> 00:24:21,120
Forgive you.
Will you come back to the record

321
00:24:21,120 –> 00:24:30,280
in Judges to Judges Chapter 7?
You know the story very well.

322
00:24:30,520 –> 00:24:32,920
We’re not going to go into this
story in any depth.

323
00:24:33,920 –> 00:24:38,560
You remember that many are
called, but few are chosen.

324
00:24:40,160 –> 00:24:43,120
That the number has to be
whittled down, doesn’t it, of

325
00:24:43,120 –> 00:24:45,120
the faithful?
There’s a refining process.

326
00:24:45,120 –> 00:24:47,360
We’re not surprised.
We’ve seen the importance of a

327
00:24:47,360 –> 00:24:51,320
refining process that takes
place for those who are called

328
00:24:51,320 –> 00:24:55,680
out and, and, and, and we read
then, don’t we, that the 300 men

329
00:24:55,920 –> 00:25:00,280
with Gideon go.
And he divided verse 16 of

330
00:25:00,280 –> 00:25:03,760
Chapter 7, the 300 men into
three companies.

331
00:25:03,760 –> 00:25:06,880
And he put a trumpet in every
man’s hand with empty pictures

332
00:25:06,880 –> 00:25:10,160
and lamps within the pictures.
And he said to them, look on me

333
00:25:10,160 –> 00:25:13,040
and do likewise.
And behold, I when I come to the

334
00:25:13,160 –> 00:25:15,960
outside of the camp, you do what
I do.

335
00:25:16,160 –> 00:25:19,440
When I blow the trumpet, I and
all that with me will blow the

336
00:25:19,440 –> 00:25:23,920
trumpet on every side of the
camp and say the sword of Yahweh

337
00:25:23,920 –> 00:25:26,480
and of Gideon.
So what do they do?

338
00:25:27,120 –> 00:25:30,360
Well, they do exactly as he
says.

339
00:25:30,920 –> 00:25:37,400
They they stand there with the
with their torches in the

340
00:25:37,400 –> 00:25:42,520
earthen vessels.
When the call comes, they break

341
00:25:42,520 –> 00:25:46,360
the earthen vessels and they
shout and cause chaos, don’t

342
00:25:46,360 –> 00:25:49,920
they, in the camp, the sword of
the Lord in the Gideon.

343
00:25:51,080 –> 00:25:56,320
Now come to Isaiah chapter 10,
because in Isaiah 10 we’re told

344
00:25:56,800 –> 00:26:05,480
that when the latter day
Assyrian will come to the land

345
00:26:05,480 –> 00:26:08,000
of Israel.
So we’re talking now about Gog,

346
00:26:09,760 –> 00:26:12,880
the king of the North, coming
down against Israel.

347
00:26:13,480 –> 00:26:20,400
He will be destroyed, and we’re
told in verse 26 that the Lord

348
00:26:20,400 –> 00:26:24,520
of hosts will stir up a skirt of
him according to the slaughter

349
00:26:24,520 –> 00:26:29,000
of Midian at the Rock of Orim.
So look at Imagine Judges

350
00:26:29,000 –> 00:26:32,800
Chapter 7.
So this battle that Gideon

351
00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:38,800
fights is compared with sown in
Scripture to the time of the end

352
00:26:39,120 –> 00:26:42,040
when the battle of Armageddon
takes place.

353
00:26:43,560 –> 00:26:47,640
It’s going to be the same thing.
Now wonder what’s happening

354
00:26:47,640 –> 00:26:49,800
here.
Will you come to Zechariah 14?

355
00:26:53,400 –> 00:26:59,480
Zechariah chapter 14?
This is a chapter, isn’t it?

356
00:26:59,840 –> 00:27:03,520
That’s an Armageddon chapter
where we see the feet of the

357
00:27:03,520 –> 00:27:06,960
Lord Jesus Christ and the
rainbowed angels stand verse

358
00:27:06,960 –> 00:27:10,960
four upon the Mount of Olives
and the great earthquake goes

359
00:27:10,960 –> 00:27:13,840
off and the earth is shattered
as we currently know it.

360
00:27:14,720 –> 00:27:17,240
We reflected yesterday, didn’t
we, on the earthquake we’ve seen

361
00:27:17,240 –> 00:27:23,080
in Turkey and Syria and the
awfulness of the destruction and

362
00:27:23,080 –> 00:27:26,560
realise it is as nothing
compared to when this earthquake

363
00:27:26,560 –> 00:27:28,440
goes.
Look what happens the end of

364
00:27:28,440 –> 00:27:31,080
verse four.
There shall be a very great

365
00:27:31,160 –> 00:27:33,320
valley.
The the earthquake just going

366
00:27:33,320 –> 00:27:37,840
back a bit cleans cleans the the
mountain towards the east and

367
00:27:37,840 –> 00:27:43,000
the West and there’ll be a very
great valley and it will remove

368
00:27:43,000 –> 00:27:46,280
the mountain will remove toward
the north and toward the South.

369
00:27:46,480 –> 00:27:48,880
So this is how enormous this
earthquake is.

370
00:27:49,040 –> 00:27:52,200
Not only does it open up to
create a valley east and West,

371
00:27:52,320 –> 00:27:56,760
half the mountain goes N half it
goes S we’re told that when this

372
00:27:56,760 –> 00:28:00,520
earthquake happens, it will
create devastation the earth

373
00:28:01,120 –> 00:28:07,160
like never seen before.
But you and I, we hope and pray.

374
00:28:07,960 –> 00:28:13,560
Well, we, we, we’re going to be
as the Jew of the morning.

375
00:28:15,400 –> 00:28:19,640
We’re going to be as youth
having energy.

376
00:28:19,640 –> 00:28:23,440
We’ll, we’ll be immortal.
And so as the mount of all his

377
00:28:23,440 –> 00:28:28,840
breaks and dust and rubble goes
everywhere and at the slaughter

378
00:28:28,840 –> 00:28:31,760
of Gideon, do you remember that
they fought against each other

379
00:28:31,880 –> 00:28:33,920
in Ezekiel 38?
We’re told that they start to

380
00:28:33,920 –> 00:28:37,040
fight against each other.
But what will we do?

381
00:28:37,040 –> 00:28:41,080
Will we just stand there now?
What will we do?

382
00:28:41,920 –> 00:28:47,800
Well, verse the end of verse
five, the Lord my God will come

383
00:28:48,000 –> 00:28:50,680
and all the Saints with you,
we’re going to go and help and

384
00:28:50,680 –> 00:28:55,280
save those left in the city.
It will come to pass in that day

385
00:28:55,600 –> 00:29:00,320
that the light shall not be
clear nor dark.

386
00:29:00,520 –> 00:29:02,160
And we ask ourselves, well, what
does that mean?

387
00:29:02,320 –> 00:29:04,400
The light will not be clear nor
dark.

388
00:29:04,600 –> 00:29:08,120
Well, in my mind I’ve got an
authorised version and a revised

389
00:29:08,120 –> 00:29:11,760
version, and the Revised Version
margin says this.

390
00:29:13,200 –> 00:29:17,560
So that phrase, the light shall
not be clear nor dark.

391
00:29:18,160 –> 00:29:21,280
It suggests that the Hebrew
could mean this.

392
00:29:22,760 –> 00:29:30,120
There shall not be light.
The bright ones shall contract

393
00:29:30,240 –> 00:29:36,000
themselves.
Now think of our story.

394
00:29:37,400 –> 00:29:42,200
What have they done with the
lights in the time of Gideon?

395
00:29:43,120 –> 00:29:49,960
The lights are hidden.
The light is hidden, isn’t it?

396
00:29:50,520 –> 00:29:54,160
Until the call goes, there shall
not be light.

397
00:29:54,560 –> 00:29:57,800
The bright ones will hide the
lights.

398
00:29:59,800 –> 00:30:02,720
And then the call goes.
And what will we do?

399
00:30:03,280 –> 00:30:08,480
Well, I believe that we’ll go
in, we’ll go in to Jerusalem.

400
00:30:08,720 –> 00:30:16,920
We come to Isaiah 30 for the
people, verse 19, that dwell in

401
00:30:16,920 –> 00:30:19,360
Zion at Jerusalem.
Thou shalt weep no more.

402
00:30:19,360 –> 00:30:22,840
He’ll be graciously at the voice
of thy cry when he shall hear

403
00:30:22,840 –> 00:30:24,080
it.
You will answer thee and know

404
00:30:24,080 –> 00:30:26,760
the Lord did give you the bread
of adversity in the ward of

405
00:30:26,760 –> 00:30:28,920
affliction.
Yet shall not thy teachers be

406
00:30:28,920 –> 00:30:32,760
removed in the corner anymore?
Thy eyes will see thy teachers,

407
00:30:32,960 –> 00:30:35,760
and your ears will hear a word
behind you saying, this is the

408
00:30:35,760 –> 00:30:39,520
way, walk in it.
So we’ll, we’re immortal.

409
00:30:40,680 –> 00:30:46,320
We walk through the dust and the
rubber as every wall collapses

410
00:30:47,040 –> 00:30:52,400
and we get into Jerusalem and we
say, hold my hand, come on, this

411
00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:53,520
is the way.
Walk in it.

412
00:30:53,960 –> 00:30:58,480
Go to the left, left, right.
We bring people out.

413
00:30:58,760 –> 00:31:00,840
Just come up to chapter 40 of
Isaiah.

414
00:31:02,000 –> 00:31:06,600
What did the prophet call?
Well, Elijah has gone ahead of

415
00:31:06,600 –> 00:31:10,000
the Lord Jesus Christ.
He was the messenger that goes

416
00:31:10,000 –> 00:31:12,320
before.
And what was it that he called

417
00:31:12,320 –> 00:31:15,080
out?
All flesh is grass.

418
00:31:15,400 –> 00:31:17,680
That’s what the Jews have got to
learn, isn’t it?

419
00:31:18,440 –> 00:31:22,120
Inside Jerusalem, the grass
Withers.

420
00:31:22,120 –> 00:31:25,960
Verse 8 The flower fades, but
the word of our God shall stand

421
00:31:25,960 –> 00:31:27,800
forever.
O Zion, that brings good

422
00:31:27,800 –> 00:31:29,880
tidings, Get up into the high
mounted.

423
00:31:29,880 –> 00:31:33,000
Why?
Zechariah 14 Half the city’s

424
00:31:33,000 –> 00:31:35,880
been taken.
The high mounted is Zion.

425
00:31:36,280 –> 00:31:39,200
Get up into Zion.
O Jerusalem, that brings good

426
00:31:39,200 –> 00:31:41,000
tidings.
Lift up your voice with

427
00:31:41,000 –> 00:31:42,080
strength.
Lift it up.

428
00:31:42,320 –> 00:31:44,360
Be not afraid.
Save the city of Judah.

429
00:31:44,600 –> 00:31:49,840
Behold your This Is Us now
coming, going to save the tents

430
00:31:49,840 –> 00:31:55,320
of Judah, getting into the city,
the inhabitants of Jerusalem to

431
00:31:55,320 –> 00:31:58,760
save them as they look on the
Lord Jesus Christ and they

432
00:31:58,760 –> 00:32:04,040
realise that He’s their Saviour.
The whole, the Lord God will

433
00:32:04,040 –> 00:32:07,200
come with strong hands.
His arm will rule for him.

434
00:32:07,200 –> 00:32:09,320
His reward is with him and his
work before him.

435
00:32:10,320 –> 00:32:12,840
He shall feed his flock like a
shepherd.

436
00:32:13,920 –> 00:32:17,920
He shall gather the lambs in his
armor and carry them in his

437
00:32:17,920 –> 00:32:20,560
bosom.
And she’ll gently lead those

438
00:32:20,560 –> 00:32:22,880
that are with young.
Isn’t that such a lovely picture

439
00:32:24,240 –> 00:32:33,080
that you say, listen, pass me to
that mum who’s broken and she’s

440
00:32:33,080 –> 00:32:36,280
got a baby in her arms.
You say I’ll hold your baby for

441
00:32:36,280 –> 00:32:38,920
you.
I’ll take your little lamb.

442
00:32:39,680 –> 00:32:42,240
Yeah, but I’ve got a I’ve got
another little girl here and a

443
00:32:42,240 –> 00:32:44,800
little boy.
I’m immortal.

444
00:32:45,840 –> 00:32:47,640
I can carry as many people as
you want.

445
00:32:48,680 –> 00:32:52,080
And you scoot these lambs up in
your arms.

446
00:32:53,680 –> 00:32:59,000
And as the rubble falls and as
the dust is so thick they can’t

447
00:32:59,000 –> 00:33:02,760
see you gently leave those that
are young.

448
00:33:02,760 –> 00:33:08,520
And you say, come on, come on,
I’ll get you out the city.

449
00:33:09,640 –> 00:33:16,160
It’s going to be OK.
What a privilege is ours,

450
00:33:16,760 –> 00:33:19,680
brothers and sisters, to be
there even after.

451
00:33:22,440 –> 00:33:28,040
Will he come finally, It’s the
Second Corinthians chapter 4,

452
00:33:31,200 –> 00:33:36,480
you see, for all of us today,
well, we’re trying to fight that

453
00:33:36,480 –> 00:33:39,160
battle.
We’re trying to deal with the

454
00:33:39,160 –> 00:33:44,640
Midianites in our life, but
really we’ve got this treasure.

455
00:33:44,640 –> 00:33:48,080
What’s the treasure we’ve got?
Well, it it was the torch on

456
00:33:48,320 –> 00:33:52,480
fire.
Some of you might have a marker

457
00:33:52,480 –> 00:33:54,480
in Philippians 2.
What are we told later on in

458
00:33:54,480 –> 00:33:55,880
Philippians 2?
We won’t go there because of

459
00:33:55,880 –> 00:34:00,840
time.
You’ve got to shine as lights in

460
00:34:00,840 –> 00:34:06,400
this Dark World.
Well, we’ve got this light.

461
00:34:06,800 –> 00:34:13,040
It’s on your lap or your table.
We’ve got it.

462
00:34:13,600 –> 00:34:19,120
It’s in US.
It is the sword of the Lord and

463
00:34:19,120 –> 00:34:21,080
of Gideon.
This is it.

464
00:34:21,480 –> 00:34:25,440
It’s the sword of the hood.
It’s the water dropping out of

465
00:34:25,440 –> 00:34:29,159
the clouds of Deborah and Blair.
This is it.

466
00:34:31,159 –> 00:34:32,760
It’s even the dew of the
morning.

467
00:34:32,920 –> 00:34:34,800
Deuteronomy 32.
We won’t go there.

468
00:34:35,400 –> 00:34:40,120
This is it.
And it’s the light that’s

469
00:34:40,120 –> 00:34:46,360
shining.
But at the moment, well, this

470
00:34:46,360 –> 00:34:53,840
earth and vessel, it keeps
messing up day on day, week on

471
00:34:53,840 –> 00:34:55,920
week.
I’ll be thrilled of it.

472
00:34:55,920 –> 00:34:59,000
If I get home this afternoon
without an argument taking place

473
00:34:59,000 –> 00:35:02,440
in our car, I’ll be delighted.
It’ll be the first ever.

474
00:35:03,920 –> 00:35:06,920
And that’s just me and Beck.
Not really.

475
00:35:09,280 –> 00:35:11,400
Do you know We’ve got it in
earth and vessels?

476
00:35:11,400 –> 00:35:14,360
Do you see?
We’re going to keep messing up.

477
00:35:14,880 –> 00:35:19,600
That is what we do.
It’s the problem of the flesh in

478
00:35:19,600 –> 00:35:23,520
US.
You’ve got to keep the light

479
00:35:23,520 –> 00:35:27,840
shining and be so thankful for
God who command you.

480
00:35:27,840 –> 00:35:31,720
The light to shine out of
darkness has shined in our

481
00:35:31,720 –> 00:35:37,440
hearts to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in

482
00:35:37,440 –> 00:35:40,680
the face of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the one who we’re going

483
00:35:40,680 –> 00:35:43,800
to come to remember.
Now we do have this treasure on

484
00:35:43,800 –> 00:35:49,600
earth and vessels.
Why, that the Excellency of the

485
00:35:49,600 –> 00:35:58,800
power may be of God, not of us.
So, so long as in your life, you

486
00:35:58,800 –> 00:36:05,200
say, I’m so grateful to God for
those of us who take the emblems

487
00:36:05,200 –> 00:36:15,280
now be so thankful to God to
provide the Lamb that he’ll deal

488
00:36:16,280 –> 00:36:18,040
with the fact that we’re in
earthen vessels.

489
00:36:18,520 –> 00:36:23,600
He wants us in earthen vessels
that we might never think that

490
00:36:23,600 –> 00:36:30,960
anything is of our strength.
And so we can know that he which

491
00:36:30,960 –> 00:36:35,680
raised up the Lord Jesus, this
ecclesia is thought today of

492
00:36:35,800 –> 00:36:40,480
Sister Williams, where she lives
in the sure and certain hope of

493
00:36:40,480 –> 00:36:45,000
the resurrection.
That fleece he which raised up

494
00:36:45,000 –> 00:36:49,800
the Lord Jesus shall raise up
also by Jesus, and shall present

495
00:36:49,880 –> 00:36:54,560
us with you.
And so as we leave, or as we

496
00:36:54,840 –> 00:37:00,040
take him shortly, we reflect on
our earth and vessel, and we do

497
00:37:00,040 –> 00:37:02,560
that, and we look back at the
weak, and there are things to

498
00:37:02,560 –> 00:37:06,800
say sorry for.
We should be encouraged.

499
00:37:08,400 –> 00:37:14,240
We need faint, because though
our outward man perish, yet the

500
00:37:14,400 –> 00:37:19,440
inward man, the light shining in
the earth and vessel, the sword

501
00:37:19,440 –> 00:37:26,520
of the Lord, is renewed day by
day for our light affliction.

502
00:37:27,680 –> 00:37:33,640
It’s just for a moment worketh
for us a far more exceeding and

503
00:37:33,640 –> 00:37:37,640
eternal weight of glory, while
we look not at the things which

504
00:37:37,640 –> 00:37:42,320
are seen, but the things which
are not seen, the things which

505
00:37:42,320 –> 00:37:45,760
are seen in a temple, the things
which are not seen.

506
00:37:46,840 –> 00:38:04,040
Horritel.
